White Bird District, Central City.

Mr. Chi is talking to someone on the phone, "Please tell me sir, we have received news that the man has gone to the blending place, but we may not be ready yet."

The voice on the other side said: "Sir, we have already anticipated this. He said you don't have to worry too much. If this person only stays for a few days and then comes out, there will be a chance next time. If he stays for a longer time, then we have a chance."

Plenty of time to arrange.”

Mr. Chi said: "It's a pity that because of the last failure, we lost our understanding of this person's specific movements."

"That's okay. Even if he moves in a mixed area, it's impossible for this person to avoid contact with others. He will always leave clues when he comes and goes, so just pay attention."

Mr. Chi expressed his understanding, "Please tell me sir, we will use the channels in the blending place to collect as much information about this person as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work, I will bring you the message."

In the blending area, after more than two hours of flight, the airship that Chen Chuan was riding landed on a highland fortress of the local garrison.

This place is where the old imperial generals were stationed at the intersection of Jibei Road. Now it has been completely occupied by the Dashun army, and defensive fortresses have been built around it.

When Chen Chuancai got off the airship, he heard the music of a military band playing in the fortress. The high-pitched and fast-paced sound of gongs, drums and horns made people feel very energetic.

Principal Yao was already waiting below. When he came down from the tower, he said, "Commissioner Chen, welcome." He came up and shook hands with Chen Chuan, then welcomed him into the fortress and invited him to his room.

After sitting down in the living area, he said: "The conditions here are simple, don't dislike it."

In order to prevent the possible counterattack of the old imperial family, the entire garrison was frantically building forts and fortifications during this period. During this time, he was often patrolling instead of staying in one place, so the surrounding layout was relatively simple. Here was just him

Bring some belongings and a simple table and chairs with you.

Chen Chuan didn't care much about this. If he went to the depths of the blending place, he wouldn't even have the conditions here. He said: "It's nothing, it just seems that the principal is a little busy."

Yao Zhiyi picked up the drink and took a sip, "Recently, domestic companies are taking over many manors and factories that the old imperial family had no time to evacuate. The garrison needs to cooperate. Only with these places can we gain value, and use these to quickly transform them into our

of military strength and supplies.

In this way, we don’t have to rely too much on the rear. When it stabilizes, we can also provide certain output to the central city. For example, we can get part of the nutrients and ingredients we use from here."

Chen Chuanchuan: "Is it difficult?"

"It's not too big. The old imperial family also used our technology, um, Central City's technology, so after they are defeated, we can take over the remaining factories without any difficulty." Principal Yao said with a little ridicule.

, "Is this a good thing done by some people in Central City?"

Chen Chuan understood what he meant. The old imperial residence itself could be regarded as an independent production area. Not only could it not rely on the supply from the imperial court, but it had to pay part of the tribute. It was also very difficult to produce all on its own, and through the central

Transactions through private channels in the city are a supplementary approach, so it is not surprising that the other party's production standards and technical equipment will be interoperable with the central city over the past few decades.

Although this situation is not what the government wants to see, it actually makes it more convenient for them to receive enemy assets.

"By the way, Commissioner Chen, this is for you..." Principal Yao stood up, rummaged through the shelf on one side, took out a piece of information, and handed it to Chen Chuan.

"I contacted a commissioning team to verify this. They are a commissioning company composed of a group of retired military officers. They specialize in providing various intelligence and information to people. They are very reliable.

He gestured and said, "The information contains their contact information. If you need it in the future, you can entrust them to inquire about information for you. You don't have to go to many places yourself."

Chen Chuan took the information and started looking through it. What he was looking for this time was the true-shaped tree that Assistant Ling showed him.

The last time he and Assistant Ling fought, the other party simulated this tree. Assistant Ling got rid of it, but their tree should still exist.

Although he didn't know where exactly this thing was, there was no doubt that it should be in the fusion area of ​​Jibei Road, so he entrusted Principal Yao to check it out. After all, this was Principal Wu Yi.

Judging from the data, the place where the true-shaped tree exists is probably in a small town where indigenous people gather.

This possibility is extremely high, because these indigenous gathering places played a significant role in the fight against the old imperial family, and the military also provided material support to them. Therefore, placing the True Shape Tree there does not have to worry about being exposed, and it is possible.

The natives of the blending area also participated in this matter.

After reading it, he said: "Principal Yao, thank you."

Yao Zhiyi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This is originally a matter of the school, but I failed to manage it well. Now I have to trouble Commissioner Chen to take care of it. I am very ashamed. It is I who should thank you." At this time, he said to the people outside.

The adjutant made a gesture and walked out. After a while, he brought in a heavy suitcase.

He said solemnly: "Commissioner Chen, I personally prepared this for you, please don't refuse."

Chen Chuan took one look at it, nodded and said, "Okay, Principal Yao, I'll accept it."

Principal Yao said: "That's right. It's a long way from here. It's already dark today. Why not rest here for one night and start again tomorrow."

Chen Chuan was not in a hurry for a while and agreed.

Principal Yao stood up and put on his big-brimmed hat, "I have to inspect the fortress in front. At this time, I can't relax at all. By the way..." He stopped when he was about to walk out the door, "

Commissioner Chen, are you going to that unknown area this time?"

Chen Chuan nodded.

"Then you should be careful." Principal Yao said in a deep voice: "I heard that that place is not safe for life. It is said that Wei Guochen and the others have been there before, but they have never been there since. There may be something there."

Chen Chuan's eyes moved slightly, "Thank you, Principal Yao, for reminding me."

On the second day, we took an airship and left here, heading towards the town. However, if we went there directly, we might be a little alarmed.

So he would stop in a nearby blending city, stay there for two days, and then go there.

Two days later, he came to the sky above the city established in Jibei Province at the intersection. This city called Shengu City was first built by the Government Affairs Office, national enterprises, municipal councils and various companies. There are many large and small cities around the city.

Small farms and biotech factories.

In the further periphery, there are several small cities and hundreds of villages and towns that depend on it, and more than half of them are local indigenous people who have migrated here.

The residents inside the city are composed of retired soldiers, mixed descendants of Dashun people and indigenous residents, and some workers who have signed lifelong contracts with the company.

Chen Chuan stood on the airship and looked down from above. The city also had tall buildings and various neon lights and shadows. It was simply another copy of the Central City of Jibei Road, except that the population was not as large, but the level of chaos was even greater.

However, a complete order has not been established here. Many retired soldiers have chosen to wear implants and become mercenaries, or continue to serve the army, or accept private hires to engage in violent activities. For example, Su Wei's previous team was here.

One of many squads.

And when the airship he was riding entered the city from above, a convoy happened to be coming out of the city.

The people sitting in the car were all wearing blouses that covered their heads and faces. It was obvious that the vehicles had been modified with weapons. Many craters could be seen on the protective panels of the car body.

A man with a gun glanced upward, made a noise on the ground, and rushed forward with a gesture: "Another military airship! Why don't these guys die?!"

His words were met with echoes, and everyone in the convoy, both men and women, gestured and spat at the airship.

The retreat of the old imperial army also brought about a problem. Many mercenary teams that were attached to the war suddenly had no place to survive, or they no longer needed so many people to participate. And these people were restless and could not honestly put down their weapons.

, went around to seize the properties left by the old imperial family, and these people soon encountered ruthless purges and suppression by the military, and the conflict between the two sides became very acute.

An old man in the team looked up coldly and said, "Let's go, we need to hurry up and get back to the town before nightfall."

He is obviously very prestigious in the team. After saying these words, everyone silenced and went on their way honestly.

The old man glanced at the back of the motorcade, where there were all dirty children of about ten years old. He said to the smart and strong man beside him: "Look carefully on the road. They were bought at a high price. No one can be missing. Those

The life of a mercenary is worthless, just die if you die, don't worry about it."

The smart and strong man nodded silently.

After the airship entered the deep valley city, it slowly slowed down in front of a building with a reinforced concrete structure and dense light transmission, and stopped at the anchor tower next to it.

Chen Chuan walked out with his suitcase. The guard at the checkpoint checked his ID, immediately saluted, said, "Hello, sir," and let him go.

In the blending place, he doesn't need to report anything wherever he goes. Of course, because it's restricted by the agreement, he can't do anything too extreme.

Because he needs to verify the location of the True Form Tree, he cannot make too much noise, so his current identity was arranged by Yao Zhiyi. He is a major in the garrison, so that he will not attract too much attention and will not cause trouble.

get into trouble.

He walked forward along the steel bridge connecting the anchor tower and the building. Then he glanced down and saw that there were neon lights everywhere, and there were many shadows of buildings in the distance. The wind from high up blew his neck.

With the red scarf around his neck, he pressed down his big-brimmed hat with his hands and stepped over from this place high above the city.
